any other kind of political campaign
lying, slandering and detraction would
astonish the oldest inhabitants. And
then their puppets who are scattered all
over the State, and have control of
their political press, such as Tyler, of
Chlllicothe, Flickingar, of Columbus,
Taylor, of Cambridge, and numerous
other poodles who could be named, must
take up after and do over what their
leaders dictate, intimate or hint to
them to do. But what better could be
expected Of these cadiyOrous lantern

Foraker, or their puppets to carrv on q
decent political campaign, would cause

country grave yards; and no Democrat
would wish them even thai bad luck,
because their idlOtic, lying, slsnder and
detraction not only causes a broad
smile to not on every Democratic coun-
tenance as we'll as upon thousands

ment has been and will forever remain
out OF Its clutches. We hope these
leaders and their puppets will keep up
this lying, slander, detraction during
the coming campaign at least, for by
80 doing they will make the majority
for the Democratic State ticket much
larger than it would be without 1t.
THE ICICLE,
Known as John Sherman, started short.

cold for his iciclicy he will 90 on to
Puget Sound and Alaska. For fear that
he would freeze and nothing more be
heard Of the icicle, he took along with
him and paid the way of John Robinson,
Of the Secretary of States cfflce, Ad
Thompson, Of Portsmouth, and Amos
Townsend, a wealthy liquor dealer Of
Cleveland, that Sherman helped TO get
rich as we'll as himself when the tax
was placed on whisky. 1t Is also said
that the noted Charley GrOVesnOr
went. along on the trip, but this
needs confirmation. Johns friends
says he intends to spend most of his
time In Canada studying the manners,
customs and form Of government of
that country. For the purpose of hay
ing the Republican party, at their next
national convention, adopt resolution
favOring the idea that the United States
adopt British manners, customs and
form OF government for our people,
The aristocracy OF the Republican party

day as the icicle Is himself before either
the Democratic party or the honest
masses of the Republican party will
favor any such an idea. A genuine
American is an American all over In
everything and he will not be lead bY
iclcles, snObbs or iristOcrats. Johns
travelling companions, Robson, Thomp.

and sristOcratic notions of government

campaign progresses, that there
are two classes of men they
must steer clear of if they wish their
WORK to be success. Republicans who
report fer socalled Democrat papers,
and Democrats who report for 80. called
Republican papers. Whatever infOr-
nation these classes find out or learn
from the Democratic Committee or at
their headquarters is conveyed petSon-
ally or BY telephone to the Republican
State Executive Committee or their
headquarters. Give them wide birth.
One of the sOrest, saddest, and most
disappointed politicians In Ohio at the
present time is Col. G. 8. POorman of
Belmont county. Your readers will re-
member the dirty, dishonest work he
done for his party at the beginning of
the last session of the Legislature. he
was promised the nomination for Audi
tor Of State for what he then did. At
the Toledo convention, when the nomi-
nation was made, even John Sherman
and the Hamilton county delegation
went back on Poorman. PoOrman SAYS
Republicans are ungratefuI," and he
now wants to find his hole, crawl into
1t, and then take 1t in after him. Poor.
man!
